a garden of friends.

Chapter 2

Daisy's Morning.

Daisy's humming filled the house, as she cooked up some bacon and eggs. She'd already watered her garden this morning, tidied the living room and dusted the book shelves.

Daisy was always an early bird.

Golden Grape came into the kitchen and planted a soft kiss on Daisy's bright green mane.

"Morning, Daisy Duck." He wrapped his arm around her for a hug, before headed for the bathroom.

Daisy smiled.

The pet name: Daisy Duck, was first used when her now husband and herself were still dating.

It was not long after Golden's divorce that he and Daisy started dating. After that, she was caught quacking like a duck. In exchange, Daisy called Golden, Quacky Grape.

Strawberry, Daisy's stepdaughter came running into the dinning room carrying a basket of strawberries in between her teeth.

"Ary 'aithy, I 'o ' 'om 'or 'errieth!"

"Hmm?" Daisy raised an eyebrow at the little pale, yellow filly.

Strawberry placed the basket on the dining table and repeated what she said.

"I Got more berries!"

"That's great, honey."

Strawberry, or B.Berry, the B standing for Baby, had a talent much like her mother, Berry Punch. On her pale, yellow flank, she had a pyramid of strawberries, the bottom two were a dark purple, like her mane and tail, and one red strawberry topped it. She called her stepmother, Aunty Daisy, much to Daisy's disappointment.

The filly had pink eyes like her mother, and she loved gardening, so Daisy gave her a little patch in her garden to plant her berry bushes.

Golden came back into the dining room and hugged his Daughter. "Good Morning, B.Berry, how are you?" He asked headed to the refrigerator.

"I'm good," she chirped. "You should and have seen the sunrise this morning, it was beautiful! The colors all matched with my mane! Can tomorrow be the same way, Aunty Daisy?"

"You'll have to ask Princess Celestia that, sweetie?"

"Why?" The filly frowned.

Daisy and Golden made eye contact and smiled at the filly.

"Well B, the Princess raises the sun, so if you want tomorrow to be like today, you'll have to ask her," Golden explained.

"Oh, okay!"

Daisy entered the kitchen, and returned, carrying the pan of bacon and eggs and toast upon toast. Golden joined her with the milk and they all sat down for breakfast.
